The Indelicates were great! Thanks to Mike for introducing me to them. Too short a set sadly, but they played all my favourites from the album, plus an excellent new song 'David Koresh, Superstar' from their new album, which they claim will be a concept album about Waco... if anyone lets them make it. Ha. The support acts were not so good - Carolyn and I showed our age by declaring them far too loud and hiding in Starbucks until it was almost time for the Indelicates. Not really in keeping with the spirit of the Metro club... but I'm too old for this shit sometimes.
Jenny Lewis was quite incredible last night. Her vocal sounded amazing and the performance was actually more country than the new album would have led me to believe. Many of her songs sound like standards already. I think she's going to be around for a very long time. Gwyllym enjoyed it too, which was good, as I took him for a birthday present.
All in all, an excellent double bill.
Low-key birthday tomorrow. Hopefully will involve seeing Andy Murray win the Madrid Masters. And cheese. For me that is, not Andy Murray. I'm sure he's not allowed to have cheese before a final :)

Hooray, you saw The Indelicates. I keep missing them when they've returned to Manchester, much to my regret. Jenny Lewis on Monday for me - first of four gigs next week.
Happy birthday, by the way! :)
